Todayish I learned

I’m in the midst of coming back from an amazing trip around the world and now am in the process of getting a rental, buying a car etc. etc.

Anyway, my partner and I organise things through Google Spreadsheets, and it’s nice to be able to see who is assigned what with colour.

To do that in Google Spreadsheets

1. Make a status column (e.g who something is assigned to), use Data Validation on that cell.
2. Go to Format -> Conditional Formatting
3. In Apply to Range put in A1:Y98 (which is a box from cell A1 to Y98, if you have more make the numbers larger)
4. Choose Custom Formula Is from the dropdown.
5. Insert =INDIRECT("C"&Row())="Completed" into the box. Now, in here, C is the column where my status cell is, and Completed is the value I am after
6. Choose your highlighting.

Bob is your veritable uncle.
